Re: [NTG-context] A Spanish introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
Thank you very much for your comments. I will take them in consideration and, along with others that are sent to me, I will prepare a version 1.5 of the guide. As my introduction, being written in Spanish, excludes many members from the list, from now on, and in order not to bore too much those who are not interested in this matter, I will answer the mails related to my introduction exclusively to the sender, and not to the list, unless I think the matter is of more general interest. Thank you all very much for the good reception of my introduction. I already said that it would certainly have errors, I am a beginner at ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] Filler rules
Hoi, In earlier times we had something like \definerule[…][…] and \setuprule[…][…]. This made it possible to create lines of a define width. — So what I found is the fillers, which apparently are not meant for the purpose I am looking for.

[NTG-context] expansion / hz
Hi,
Because I'll probably forget to mention if, here is some new features
(upcoming lmtx only):
\definefontfeature[default][default,quality]
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\starttext
{whatever we want to achieve} \input tufte
\setupalign[tolerant,stretch,hz]
{whatever we want to achieve} \input tufte
{\noexpansion whatever we want to achieve} \input tufte
\stoptext
That is: one can mark text to *not* use font expansion in an otherwise
expansion (hz) context. I have no clue how useful it is.
So, the first paragraph has no expansion., the second one has while the
third one has except for the first 5 words. And yes, there's also
similar trickery for protrusion, \noprotrusion, but i didn't test it.
This is in addition the the already mentioned \nokerning and
\noligaturing features that also obey grouping.
All this in the perspective of (luameta)tex giving detailed control over
matters.

I promise. ;-)
I can't test it thoroughly, but I've got these issues.
I have problems with the grid on such a page. The last column of three
does not align the lines at the grid. With columnsets the grid is ok.
These columnsets as described in the manual looked very promising to me
as I could change the column layout on the page. The columnsetspan
feature is nice to make elements spread over multiple columns. Areas
also looks promising but I did not try them.
I had some problems while using columnsets with respect to switch this
span feature on and off. But I managed it kind of. The last thing I
couldn't get to work were images with location left of the text.
I'll have a deeper look at the examples in
./tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/columnsets
Thanks a lot for these features.

Thank you very much! This could really become the "lshort" of ConTeXt. The "lshort" was originally written in German but has been translated into multiple languages through community effort: < https://ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort>. I'm thinking that in this age of distributed version control it would be feasible to have multiple people working on each version. Since I periodically work as a documentation translator I'm immediately seized by a desire to translate it into English, and why not also Swedish, my native language? I would need to improve my Spanish considerably though, and probably also to invent the 28-hour day! So I'm thinking why not create a GitHub/GitLab repository (or even organization) for this so that anybody can help translating it into other languages? Those who know Spanish well could do the initial translation and then those who know English (or any other language into which some part(s) have been translated) can do the proof reading (which is where I really can show my muscle since proofing/editing is what I mostly do for a living! :-) Then when there exist more versions anyone can make secondary translations between pairs of languages which they know.
